Tribes Arthur Slade Books

I had no idea what to expect when I dowloaded this ebook. I did it on a whim. I was pleasantly surprised at a facinating read. The protagonist is a troubled high school senior boy who is struggling with the loss of two people very close to him. I'm not saying more to avoid spoilers. This is one of those books where information is given just bits and pieces at a time and I don't want to give stuff away.

In the book, the voice of the protagonist is uniquely done. There is LOTS of internal dialog. This might turn off some in the book's inteneded audience (YA I believe), but others will find it refreshing. As an adult, I thought it clever.

As for content, I don't remember any swearing (at least nothing that made me cringe). There is one very short make out scene that younger teens might wince at. Or, I should say, that parents of younger teens might wince at. I would definitely recommend this for older teens who will appreciate the serious themse of suicide and depression.

Tribes Arthur Slade Books Reviews

The son of an anthropologist does a "study" of the various tribes (cliques) of his high school? But what makes the book work (as always) is the believable characters and, yes, the heart. A great read.
The book and story is very interesting! I think everyone should read this book if they want to know what kinds of tribes are there in school, or if you want to read a good story.
Overall I think the book was ok. A bit boring for my taste. I guess Anthropology isn't much of an interest to me. However, it was insightful to see the different cliques in high school and also to find out about his father. Other than that, snoooze-fest. Sorry.
This is a clever book, not to be missed. The author has a certain wit about him that makes the book enjoyable. Perk, our hero, is an observent of life around him. What he sees and what I see are two different things, and I'm missing a lot!

I'm putting Mr. Slade's name down as one of my favorite authors. Yeah, I have a spreadsheet so I can remember. I must be in the 'memory-fading fast' tribe. LOL
I didn't think this book would be as good as it was. Since I'm so right brained, I was doubtful at the very left brained, analytical protagonist. But, despite that, I managed to slide right into his shoes and found his word- his odd, wacky, GEOGRAPHICAL world- pleasant and enjoyable. Try it. Come on, it's only one click (and no cost) for this enlightening free ebook. What could it hurt?

Thank you for your time.
I read the formal description on my and this did not sound like my kind of book. Then I read the favorable reviews, which were more insightful, and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did! "Tribes" entertained me throughout. To me, the various tribes were not as entertaining as the anthropological vernacular used by Percy, the wonderful protagonist. This kid just tickled me! I hope more people read it and review it, as it deserves a large audience and a lot of praise.
Arthur Slade is truly a master of his craft and writes a compelling coming-of-age story, one so unique and special it will leave you stunned. This is undoubtedly one of the best books I have read in years. The book is a study of studies...quirky, thought provoking, humorous, and poignant, it follows the protagonist and his classmates through the last years of high school. Skillfully crafted words create images so profound you are there regardless of where "there" is. The author creates an unforgettable cast of characters, each divided into "tribes", which is part of the genius of this story. You live through the angst, false bravado, wonder, joy and pain which are the high school years, but in a fashion most likely foreign to your own experiences yet remarkably familiar. I cannot express eloquently enough how wonderful and touching this story is, and I urge you to take the time to read it, live it and love it as I did.
